Financial support
Our students are covered by KELA's student support program.
Student support helps students financially to get ahead. In many private educational institutes students are not covered by student support and thus must bear all costs themselves. The students of Carl Wilhelm Academy have the right to student support for the entire time they are enrolled.
A student wanting support must fill out the Student support application and send it to the school properly filled out. The student support application form can be printed from KELA's Internet pages.
